Their readings were thoughtful, clear and reverent, showing great understanding of this special moment in the Liturgical Year. ## **A Lovely Family Celebration** One of the highlights of the celebration was seeing **older siblings** involved and supporting the younger children. It was a wonderful reminder of the strong sense of family and community at St Joseph’s. We were delighted to see the school hall filled with families who came to share in this prayerful and joyful celebration. Your presence made the occasion even more meaningful. ## **Well Done, Year 1 and 2!** We are incredibly proud of our pupils for the confidence, expression and care they showed throughout the Celebration of the Word. **Thank you to everyone who joined us — it was a truly special moment for our school community.** [ Attendance Challenge at St Joseph’s Coundon – Making Every Day Count!](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/news/2026-01-12-attendance-challenge-at-st-joseph-s-coundon-making-every-day-count) [Coundon History Project with SSAFA Durham ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/news/2026-02-02-coundon-history-project-with-ssafa-durham) ![St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School Victoria Lane Coundon Bishop Auckland County Durham DL14 8NN 01388 602 608 - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StJosephsCoundon) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephs_coundon/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
